The Tashan of The Vishal and The Shekhar

Okay, so who thought that the Bhojpuri songs could end up being the most stylish songs of the year???

Well, think again. The Yash Raj Philms have made impossible, the Possible... yes, The Dil Dance Maare is the most happening song of the time... The people are just going the crazy over this song. it is a very mast and phantastic songva. It tells you the mood of the film very beautiphully.

The other song, Dil Haara Re, which has The Saif Ali Khan and The Kareena Kapoor is also a very memorable song. The theme music of this song, which was also used in the picture hall ka trailer, is vhery appealing. also, the words like Tabadtod Naach loon are a vhery refreshing change phrom the usual Hindi philm song.

The Challiya song, in which The Kareena Kapoor is looking the gorgeous is a vhery dhaansoo song which has made everyone ghayal. Her the new look is vhery lovely.



The Falak Tak Chal song is a romantic song that reminds you of other Yash Raj songs like Chup Chup Ke phrom BnB, Bol Na Halke Halke phrom JBJ ex sectra. It is the vhery peacephul song of the album. Apna Akki Bhaiyya and Kareena ka jodi will look cool.

The Tashan Mein song also helps you to set the mood phor this philm. it is a road action philm and the song is perphect phor it.


And now some of the technical things about the song. Phirst of all. The Vishal and The Shekhar's music phor this film is vhery hatke phrom what the public has been hearing. So, they deserve the Hats Off phor it. And secondly, as The Gulzar Saab and The Javed Saab have been saying that the Hindi songs don't use too many of the words and repeat the words like the Pyaar ex sectra. This album goes beyond those of the clichés and give us some new and phersh words.

Some of the people can pheel that the songs are the meaningless and bulshit. But to those of my phriends I would like to say that the point of the song in the philm is to tell the story in the style of the philm. So just like in the Umrao Jaan, you cannot have the "Zara Zara Touch Me", similarly in the Tashan, you cannot have the "Mohe Panghat Pe Nandlal Ched Gayo Re". You have got to have some Hip songs.

'Tashan' Means Style. and this album is vhery stylish... I would call it, the most stylish album in the very long time.

Hats off to The YRF, The Vishal and The Shekhar, The Vijay Krishna Acharya, The Piyush Mishra, The Anvita Dutt Guptan, & The Kausar Munir phor this album...

The Good, The Bad and The Beautiful

Okay, so I was desperately waiting for this film and it finally released. So what did I feel about the film? Well, it’s complicated. Okay, so I was desperately waiting for this film and it finally released. So what did I feel about the film? Well, it’s complicated.

Firstly, like other reviewers, I don’t like wasting time on telling the plot. So if that’s what you are looking for it, stop reading now. Yeah, so the film begins with and old Ajay Devgan trying to woe the old Kajol. Pretty interesting, I thought. So, as they say well begun is half done and the film begins well. Now, the movie goes into the story of the cruise. And what is happening? The story could not connect with the audience. Not just me, but the whole hall felt disconnected. The jokes, the romance, it’s not working. Reason? It looks fake and planted. They have copied this part from the move, The Notebook, and it doesn’t works. We have recently seen Jab We Met and we saw how beautifully the dialogues the scenes were just like lovers behave in real life. And that worked. But here, the whole meeting of lovers did not work. Okay, so we move on and Ajay and Kajol fall in love. Then for some reason there is a nude scene… well, I just don’t understand the point of keeping it there. I mean, the guy is not some Brad Pitt who will get the female crowd to see the film. Nor is the scene helping the screenplay. So, film moves on, and it starts picking up pace. People start feeling connected to the film and from the Jee Le song onwards, it’s good. And as soon the interval comes and Kajol starts forgetting things, you are hooked on to the story. The major strength of the first half is the fact that you cannot connect the old and the young Kajol and Ajay, and that keeps you hooked.

Then the second half begins and from now on, the film is simply beautiful. There are moments in it that simply stun you, and I mean it in a good way. Like the scene where Kajol puts the baby in the tub, or the title song. It’s simply amazing.

As far as the cinematography is concerned, the look of the film is good. The lighting is quiet impressive, specially in the Dhakda song. The film could have been edited some more. Specially in the cruise part. Costumes make the characters more believable. And the set decoration brings a reality to the story. The sound of the film helps the story without drawing much attention towards itself. That’s how any technical aspect in a story like this should be.

Now, the acting by Ajay, Kajol is fantastic. But then, when it’s them, you don’t expect anything less than fantastic. But the surprise package were Sumit and Divya. They were really good in the film. Isha Sharvani didn’t had too much to do. The music of the film is really good. It may not be a chartbuster, the words mean a lot and that’s a big thing. Specially the title song. I missed Shreya’s version of the title song, but never mind.

And finally, Ajay Devgan’s direction is good. He is a sensitive director from whom we can expect a lot in the future. He is specially good with emotional scenes.

So, all in all, U Me aur Hum is Good in the beginning and pre-interval scenes. Bad in the early cruse portion and beautiful in the second half.
